  2. What is Imagery? • Imagery is when an author uses words and phrases to describe a place, person, or event in such a manner that the reader feels as if he or she is experiencing the place, person, or event first hand.

  3. What is Imagery? • The best details come from closely observing the world, then using specific words that can be felt by our five senses. These help a reader mentally live through what the characters in the book are actually experiencing. • What does this mean?
